The Fiat 600 will go on sale later this year, expanding Stellantis’ lineup of small SUVs. The new small crossover, which is the Jeep Avenger’s Italian cousin, will have a robust body inspired by the Fiat 500 and an electric drivetrain, though there may be a mild hybrid option for some regions. To give you an idea of what to expect, our team has compiled all the information about the impending small SUV and produced accurate renderings.
2024 Fiat 600 EV Review
The new SUV will resemble a bloated version of the electric Fiat 500 city car, according to recently discovered spy images. The body-colored patterning on the lower bumper intake, surfacing around the bodywork, a huge rear spoiler, and C-shaped LED graphics on the taillights are just a few of the stylistic cues that will be present on both vehicles.
The 600 will set itself apart from the 500, though, with a more useful five-door body, a longer wheelbase, and a higher ground clearance. The Jeep Avenger and Opel Mokka, two of the Stellantis SUV’s siblings, and Fiat’s upcoming SUV are anticipated to share comparable dimensions. The 600 will be a sub-compact SUV with a length of 4,084–4,151 mm (160.8–163.4 inches) and a wheelbase of around 2,560–100.8 mm (100.8 inches). The 600 will be smaller than the Fiat 500X, which is apparently being replaced by a larger model, thanks to these dimensions, which will place it at the lower end of the sub-compact spectrum.
The Fiat 600 prototypes’ interiors have also lately been photographed by our undercover photographers, giving us a look inside the car. The images show a circular digital instrument cluster mounted behind the steering wheel and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. For the Fiat 500, Fiat is renowned for providing customization possibilities, such as vibrant interior accents, eco-friendly upholstery materials, and Easter eggs with Italian themes. It is anticipated that the business will stick with this approach for the 600.
The CMP/eCMP architecture, which is already utilized in a variety of cars, including the Jeep Avenger, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, DS 3 Crossback, Peugeot 2008, and several superminis, is anticipated to be employed in the construction of the 600. The next Alfa Romeo Brenero and Citroen C3 Aircross will both ride on the same platform. The Fiat, Jeep, and Alfa Romeo models—which will be the most closely related among these vehicles—will be made in the Tychy factory in Poland.
Engine & Specs
It will most likely be propelled by a solitary electric motor that generates 260 Nm (191.8 lb-ft) of torque and 154 horsepower (115 kW / 156 PS). It is anticipated that the common 54 kWh battery pack will enable a WLTP driving range of around 400 km (249 miles). A performance version from Abarth might also be in the works, even though there isn’t any official word on this as of yet.
The platform is also compatible with internal combustion engines, thus a mild-hybrid 1.2-liter engine may theoretically be offered in some areas. Fiat might decide to entirely use electric vehicles, especially given the sharp increase in price for large ICE-powered vehicles over the previous 12 months. Because of government subsidies, this has reduced the price differential between ICE and EV equivalents, making electric versions more alluring.
Exterior
It is anticipated that the Fiat 600 would appear to be a chunkier and slightly longer version of the Fiat 500. It will also have a five-door body style, which is more practical, as well as a roomier cabin and a higher seating position. At the front, the designers at Fiat took a conservative approach by utilizing split round LED headlamps and a small grille that was positioned over the massive center bumper intake.
Features
The later design incorporates a pattern that is analogous to that of the 500 and houses the ADAS sensors. The silhouette is somewhat similar to the Fiat 500X, although it looks like it has more interior space. The same can be said for the vehicle’s rear end, which features typical retro-styled taillights that have clear parts and LED graphics in the shape of a C.
A view of the interior was also provided to us, revealing a free-standing infotainment touchscreen measuring 10.25 inches and a round-shaped digital instrument cluster similar to the one found in the electric version of the 500. As was to be expected, the remainder of the dashboard as well as the emblem on the steering wheel were both concealed.
It is speculated that the Fiat 600 will occupy a lower end of the spectrum of small SUVs, making way for the rumored successor of the Fiat 500X to expand in size and compete with compact SUVs. This will allow the Fiat 500X to compete with larger SUVs. The supermini-sized model will most likely have a footprint comparable to that of the Jeep Avenger, which is 4,084 millimeters long (160.8 inches), with a wheelbase that measures 2,560 millimeters long (100.8 inches).
The forthcoming Alfa Romeo Brenero will also be a close relative of this model. The CMP and eCMP architecture found in the Stellantis components bin is shared by the aforementioned three cars as well as a large number of other models, such as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, the DS 3 Crossback, the Peugeot 2008, and the soon-to-be-released Citroen C3 Aircross.

2024 Fiat 600 EV Revealed
The new 600 from Fiat is slated to make its debut as one of two new EVs this year in the second half of 2023. While the electric Fiat 500 is scheduled to arrive in North America in 2024, it is unknown if the bigger and more useful 600 will ever join the range.
